Houthi Leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi:

Saudi Arabia has targeted more than 2,000 mosques, including historic and ancient mosques located kilometers away from the battlefronts.

Riyadh did not even spare centers for the blind in Sanaa, cemeteries, and archaeological sites.

These crimes were not accidental or limited, but rather a consistent and deliberate policy by the aggressors, the evidence and documentation of which have also been confirmed by the UN and international organizations.

Houthi Leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi:

Saudi Arabia is using its propaganda machine, the targeting of Mecca is an ugly lie.

"In certain locations on the front line of troops right now, the life expectancy of a new Russian recruit arriving on the front lines is as little as 20 to 30 minutes. Think about that.

This is what happens when low-cost precision is fielded fast, adapted quickly, and scaled across the battlefield."
